Because being at home is always your first choice, Essential Home Health makes recovering at home possible through its home health services, a comfortable and less expensive alternative to long hospital stays or nursing home care. Patients develop a one-on-one relationship with their home health nurse, who provides them with individualized care in the familiar surroundings of their home.
The staff at Essential Home Health has made helping and caring for others in the community an everyday practice—a virtue passed down by owner Josie Alvarado, RN, BSN. Josie’s career has always involved caring for others. As one of the members of the first graduation class of Texas Tech University School of Nursing, her long career has given her the knowledge and experience to effectively and compassionately run a successful home health agency. “People walk in our office all the time with different needs—sometimes they need information about how to find a doctor and sometimes they need help with their utilities. We often act as a community resource and match people to organizations in the community that can provide the service or assistance they need. We do more than offer traditional home health services.”
